Client server architecture

 Client server architecture

Client-server architecture is distributed model representing dispersed responsibilities among independent computers integrated across a network. Therefore, it's easy to replace, repair, upgrade and relocate a server while client remains unaffected.


Advantages of Client-Server Architecture:

Organizations often seek  opportunities to maintain services and quality competition to sustain its market position with the help of technologies. Deployment of client-server computing in an organization will effectively increase its productivity through the usage of  cost-effective user interface, enhanced data storage, vast connectivity and reliable application services
  • Improved Data Sharing: 
Data is retained by usual business processes and manipulated on a server is available for designated users (clients) over an authorized access.
  • Integration of Services: 
Every client is given the opportunity to access corporate information via desktop interface eliminating the necessity to log into a terminal mode or processor. 
  • Shared Resources Amongst Different Platforms: 
Application used for client-server model is built regardless of the hardware platform or technical background of the entitled software (operating system software) providing an open computing environment, enforcing users to obtain the services of clients and servers (database, application and communication services)
  • Data Processing Capability Despite the Location: 
Client-server users can directly log into a system despite of the location or technology of the processors.
  • Easy Maintenance: 
Client-server architecture is distributed model representing dispersed responsibilities among independent computers integrated across a network. Therefore, it's easy to replace, repair, upgrade and relocate a server while client remains unaffected. This unaware change is called as Encapsulation.
  • Security: 
Servers have better control access and resources to ensure that only authorized clients can access or manipulate data and server updates are administered effectively.


 1. Monolithic architecture

2.    Layerd archtecture.

3.     Virtual machine architecture

4.     Exokernel architecture

5.    Client server architecture 


6.     Micro kernel architecture

Disadvantages of Client-Server Architecture.
  • Overloaded Servers: 
When there are frequent simultaneous client requests, server severely get overloaded, forming traffic congestion.
  • Impact of Centralized Architecture: 
Since it is centralized, if a critical server failed, client requests are not accomplished. Therefore, client-server lacks the robustness of a good network.

Monolithic Architecture

  Monolithic Architecture Monolith means composed all in one piece. The  Monolithic  application describes a single-tiered  software  application in which different components combined into a single program from a single platform. Components can be: Authorization — responsible for authorizing a user Presentation — responsible for handling HTTP requests and responding with either HTML or JSON/XML (for web services APIs). Business logic — the application’s business logic. Database layer — data access objects responsible for accessing the database. Application integration — integration with other services (e.g. via messaging or REST API). Or integration with any other Data sources. Notification module — responsible for sending email notifications whenever needed. Example for Monolithic Approach Consider an example of Ecommerce application, that authorizes customer, takes an order, check products inventory, authorize payment and ships ordered products. This applicat...

Change the priority of a process

  Change the priority of a process You can tell the computer that certain processes should have a higher priority than others, and so should be given a bigger share of the available computing time. This can make them run faster, but only in certain cases. You can also give a process a  lower  priority if you think it is taking up too much processing power. Go to the  Processes  tab and click on the process you want to have a different priority. Right-click the process, and use the  Change Priority  menu to assign the process a higher or lower priority. There is typically little need to change process priorities manually. The computer will usually do a good job of managing them itself. (The system for managing the priority of processes is called  nice .) Does higher priority make a process run faster? The computer shares its processing time between all of the running processes. This is normally shared intelligently, so programs that are doing more ...

Batch Processing Operating System

  Batch processing system ·           Batch processing is one of the oldest method    of running the programs ·           The computer in the past were very large in size and their I/O devices were very different from those that are used today. The job processing was not interactive as it is today. ·           The user did not interact directly with computer system.   ·           The process scheduling , memory management, file management and I/Omanagement functions are quite simple in batch processing system   1.         Process scheduling (i.e. allocation strategy for a processor is typically in order of their arrival i.e. first come first served(FCFS)basis.   2.         Memory management  is done by divi...

Multitasking System

  Multitasking system ·           Technically , multitasking is same as multi programming ·           In a multitasking operating system, s single user can execute multiple programs at the same time ·           We can also say, multitasking is the system capability to work on more than one job or process at the same time. ·           It means that whenever a job needs to perform I/O operation, the cpu can be used for execting some other job                                                        diagram of multi tasking     ·           There are two type of multitasking : 1.       ...
